Before and after pics of tailpipe polishing with Chemical Guys

[KidK9]

Hey all. Here are some before and after tail pipe polishing pics. I used Chemical Guys Metal Shine. Overall, this took me less than an hour total for both tails. Any other tips on how to get the remaining spots out?

I believe those remaining spots are pits in the finish bro..

 

[KidK9]

So I guess fine sanding them down?

That could work but there's a small risk you'd be left with dull spots.

I wouldn't risk it. The pits are just kind of there at this point. Looks much better though

use some steel wool lightly with the polish and I bet the come out.

I looked at at them again. Some are pits, but some are not. Some are just the stupid road tar that everyone gets on their bumpers. I tried bug/tar remover but that didn't work.

either way they look much better.

You should be able to remove all those spots. Use some fine grit sand paper if you feel comfortable doing it and then polish. I do the inside of the tips too.

for tar try using gasoline and elbow grease and it will come off. Or again steel whool might help a little as well.

look way better!

I use turtle wax chrome polish in the little green bottle and it works great, If I come across hard rust sports I use steel wool or some scotch bright pads in a medium grade to fine.. and it works good.. Using the chrome polish seems to help it last longer..

If the pipes are stainless then you can sand out the pits and gradually worl to finer and finer grit then polish as usual.

A new razor blade also helps remove the rust and then u just use polish to finish it out with.. I thought factory was stainless.. mine seem to be and there factory..
